Williamsburg's Other Watering Holes

It may be cooler today, but with the heat sure to return and McCarren Park Pool renovations not set to be done until 2011, what's a sweltering Williamsburg hipster to do? Kiddie pools are barely even ironic anymore, but perhaps a dip in the stagnant mud water of a future luxury condo would cool you down. Restless points out two such swimmin' holes, one on the North Side and one on the South, and both likely "chock full of heavy metal mineral bath goodness." And look, barely any flies!

"...likely 'chock full of heavy metal mineral bath goodness.'"

Funny Gothamist... full of heavy metal mineral and about 8 million gallons of leftover crude oil from the oil spills in the '50s.
